At The Library
He was the first to enter the library that day.
Took a few steps in.
Stopped.
Looked around.
Seeing is believing...
What you see is up to you...
He saw the librarian.
- Three shades of pale -
Felt at home.
Approached her.
- Doing research on the future...
Just in case we get there...
- Time machines are down...
- Book research...
The future and the librarian
kept their distance.
- Any suggestions?
- Come back later...
- I'd rather wait...
He sat at a desk.
Pulled a book out of his coat.
Placed it on desk
as did with elbows.
Rested head in palms.
Closed eyes.
Sighed.
Reading shit
makes you shit-wise...

Excellent write.
i really like that 3rd stanza
"He saw the librarian.
- Three shades of pale -
Felt at home.
Approached her. " - almost like "shes a strange creature,almost as strange as me,lets do this interaction thing and see how it goes this time."
time machines are down, time to do this the old fashion way.
and the underlying statement we're left off thinking with
"Reading shit
makes you shit-wise... ".
i liked this trip to the library, i kind of want to get a fridge box and write "time machine " on it, watch movies through the cut out hole in the front of it on my day off.
well penned takis1917, good observational poem.
